Hobbs & Shaw kept its number-one position on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. A spinoff of the hit
Fast & Furious franchise starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham's brawling buddy pair,
Hobbs & Shaw was a fairly solid hit during the Summer 2019 season. Even though the film scored mediocre critical notices (it has a
60% rating on Metacritic), it grossed
almost $759 million worldwide on top of its estimated $200-million production budget. This week,
Hobbs & Shaw had an HD market share of 51%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Paramount Home Media Distribution's
Dora and the Lost City of Gold. This live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon
Dora The Explorer was a sleeper hit this August. The film scored decent critical notices (it has a
63% rating on Metacritic) and went on to gross
over $119 million worldwide on top of its estimated $49-million production budget.
Dora and the Lost City of Gold had a Blu-ray market share of 56% and sold 91% as many Blu-rays and 82% as many total units as
Hobbs & Shaw.
Finally, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's 2019 version of
The Lion King rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. The latest live-action opportunity for Disney to remake its animated back catalog,
The Lion King was one of 2019's biggest success stories. Although the film scored mediocre critical notices (it has a
55% rating on Metacritic), it ended up grossing
over $1.6 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $250-260-million production budget.
The Lion King had an HD market share of 51% and sold 57% as many Blu-rays and total units as
Hobbs & Shaw.
